We're dividing 284727 by 74 
Our goal is to divide 284727 by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
28 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 284 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 284 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 62.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 222 away from 284, we end up with 62.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 627 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 627 8 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we take 592 away from 627, we end up with 35.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 352 / 74

On to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 352 4 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 384.0
Subtract 296 from 352 to get 56.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 567 / 74

On to step 6:
567 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 49.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3847.0
Deduct 518 from 567 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3847.6
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 444 from 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 8:
460 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3847.66
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 444 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3847.66, with a leftover of 0.016.
